After this v announcement what's your view on FATM for r/l Neil?

[astroman123]

Soundgarden to headline the NME tent maybe?

[TYLER_4]

Things should pick up soon, the nearer we get and all that jazz.

After this v announcement what's your view on FATM for r/l Neil?

I'd say it's more than a possibility.

She's got to be doing either R/L, or Bestival, or Hop Farm (or a combination) - they're about the only ones left that she could be at.

I guess it's possible that she might be in the next names announced for V, but I can't think why they'd hold her name back when she's already been announced for T.

Seen people touting her as a headliner, surely there is no chance of this? NME headliner or 3rd top mainstage surely?

Kasabian

FATM

Kaiser Chiefs

That would look quite strong.

Any news that you are expecting back today Neil?

I'm always expecting more info. Whether I get it is another thing.

The only reason people think it's FATM is because Neil. There's no reason to think it.

Flo will be playing somewhere - and that 'somewhere' is now narrowed down to R/L, Hop Farm, or Bestival.

To me the most obviously likely of those three is R/L, because Melvin was happy to be the first to give Flo a headline slot (at Latitude 2 years ago). Bumping her up to a bigger headline slot at a bigger festival when she's become a bigger act really isn't a stretch too far - particularly as the booking might well have been done before her 2nd album was released, so a presumption would have had to be made on how big it might make her.

So while I'm not betting my kid on it being Flo that's headlining R/L, there's plenty of reason to think she could be. To say there's no reason is just stupid.

[TYLER_4]

If she doesnt headline bestival, then i reckon she'll sub R&L probably to Kasabian, cant see her headlining just yet..

[FortMorris]

She's either going to be deemed as a strong sub or a weak headliner.

[eFestivals]

Alot of people of this forum feel this way with Bloc Party. I am not alot of people.

Bloc Party would be considered a weaker headliner than Flo by the world in general, that much is beyond dispute.

[dannyv18]

Neil didn't u say a while back something along the lines of, well looks like you guys avoided screaming flo this year?

If so what made you say that

Florence not going to be at hop farm due to other gigs over that weekend, so that leaves reading or bestival.

[Hawky]

So Flo Mo, Kasabian and Foos. I suppose 2 outa 3 aint bad. Fingers crossed that refused headline lock up when she's on or Shikari headline NME

Yep, I said that - it was based on her announcing a gig in Ireland with Snore Patrol on T in the Park weekend, which just about nailed both those bands on for T, and made it look exceedingly likely they'd both be at V too. What links those three shows is the promoter MCD (a shareholder in all three of those).

With Snore Patrol announced for V but not Flo it now looks as tho Flo is almost certainly playing somewhere else in England on an exclusive basis - and about the only fest with the clout for that exclusive is R/L.

[FortMorris]

Was Green Day v The Cure... Now Bloc Party v FATM. Who she we go with next week?

I'm hoping it's Linkin Park v Linkin Park
